These Florida Homeowner’s associations are NAZI-LIKE!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Why anyone would want to live in these petty little dictatorships is beyond me...

[Phantom Lord]

over the weekend I planted a pink flamingo in my yard to tweak the HOA and new management company.

Bring It On!

[svcw]

HOAs another layer of government.
Thats what happens when you live in an association.
He needs to run for the board and change the rules.
Having said that - do not take down the flag make then take you to court.

I don't understand why it would bring down the values of our homes by flying the American flag from a pole in my front yard," homeowner Jimmie Watkins said.

Did he understand what it meant when he joined a "home owner's association"?

Not defending the anti-American group, just questioning anybody's sanity who is willing to sign away his freedom by joining a "home owners assocation".

I have just one question:

“What this association rule in effect prior to his buying the house?”

[Atlas Sneezed]

One of the things that flag stands for is the right to put rules on your own private property, which the guy he bought from did, in order to get a higher price.

This moron needs to shut up, and follow the rules he agreed to.

[tflabo]

Homeowners pay up to several thousand dollars a year in property taxes. They should legally be able to fly a USA flag in their yard anytime within reasonable guidelines. If I had to move it would be to a location without a HOA with their fee extortions and dictatorship mentalities.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The Constitution trumps ALL Civil Law. Any Civil Law that violates the Constitution is non-enforceable.

go retired vet...hold your ground......!!!!

Perhaps the owner ought to repaint his house:

[MaestroLC]

The HOA is nothing more than a mafia group.

[cubreporter]

Fight it, fight it, fight it. Stay on it. Keep it in the public eye and forefront. Don’t back down. If you are legal within the rules...then stand tall and fight it.

[colinhester]

The display of the flag is not banned; it’s the flag pole. Federal law says you CAN display the American Flag, and this CANNOT be trumped by the HOA. End of discussion.....C

[catchem]

Old, old people, with nothing to do and no one to pay them any attention, will do anything, absolutely anything, just to make a nuisance of themselves.

[texson66]

Sussex homeowners’ association = commissar’s housing directorate.

Please somebody give those folks a life.

What an absolute waste of time for all concerned.

There such not be a restriction of any kind for flying the American Flag.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The association should “allow” American flags on Memorial day, Flag day and Independence day.

[Question_Assumptions]

I think we're reaching the point where it might be nice to have a constitutional amendment that prohibits and restrictions on the reasonable display of a moderately sized American flag by anyone anywhere.

[ViLaLuz]

We moved into a neighborhood that called the city code enforcement officer on us because while we were moving, we left boxes on our front porch for a few nights. Needless to say, we won’t be joining the neighborhood association.
